For students who have taken a beginner class and feel comfortable centering clay and working in the studio. This class moves beyond the round, symmetrical pot into work that combines wheel throwing with cutting, faceting, darting, paddling, and handbuilt additions. You'll learn how to alter a form while it's still soft, how to plan a thrown piece so it can be transformed off the wheel, and how to integrate slab and coil elements into a thrown base. Along the way you'll pick up tips and tricks for centering, trimming, and finishing that move you out of beginner territory. Students will also get more depth on glazing techniques and how to use our custom-designed glazes.

Daniel teaches with group demonstrations alongside one-on-one support and guidance. The class works through a variety of forms and techniques, fine-tuned with the students on day one. Bring your questions and goals.

This is a Next Step class focused on altering thrown forms and combining techniques.
